Round 1 of the conflict between the man, woman and the snake.

The man and his woman were both ARUMIYM,

and they had not been shamed.

The serpent was more ARUM than any beast of the field

which Yahweh the god had made.

(Genesis 2:25-3:1a)

English translations and the insertion of chapter and verse markers have made it impossible for readers of those translations today to read the original story. Let’s begin with the two underlined words above. They are transliterations of Hebrew words that mean the same thing – ARUM is the singular form and ARUMIYM is the plural. They have the following meanings: subtle, shrewd, clever, crafty, and cunning.

● The man and his woman were both subtle, shrewd, clever, crafty, and cunning.

● The serpent was more subtle, shrewd, clever, crafty, and cunning than any animal.

● Which will be the most subtle, shrewd, clever, crafty, and cunning – the two humans acting together or one wild animal?

A horseman was stationed far away but within sight of him. If one [of the judges] says, ‘I have something [more] to say in his favor,’ he [the signaler] waves the sudarin , and the horseman runs and stops them [from stoning him]. Even if [the condemned person] himself says, ‘I have something to say in my favor,’ they bring him back, even four of five times, only provided that there is some substance to...
